My concern is they kept him for 3 months. Then again I think it was a wait for Klopp.
If that was the rumoured position on waiting for someone I’d just about accept it but Carragher and others suggesting he has credit in the bank. It might be because he took a loan out at this point.
Credit in the bank has been used up imo. A lot of the fans had more than enough patience for a while.
Takes a lot for our fans to boo at Anfield and get to this point. Surely the suits above see this. They’ve listened to the fans before and made u turns so i’m hoping this will be the same.
For a month or so it has felt to me like the most likely situation is some form of mutual agreement had been made that he leaves in the summer, maybe even with Slot acknowledging this was beyond him to turn around, and everything from the club since then has been about trying to create as calm waters as they can in an attempt to salvage what they can from the season. How inept and soulless some of the performances have been recently look like it’s backfired with the players stuck in a limbo of not buying into the plan from an on his way out manager but not having enough of identity as a group to lean on to do things their own way.
Arguably Paisely after 80-81. Two huge differences though. One, we still had enough about us that year despite the disappointing league campaign that we won the European cup. Just as critically, that was a team that had run its course and needed to be rebuilt, not one that had already been rebuilt in the manager’s image and failed to come together. That meant they just needed to back him with new players, and when they did that he delivered the turn around
That record will almost certainly go too. Biggest defeat in the FA Cup for 80 years today.
Slot just keeps those records coming. People scoffed a few weeks ago when I compared the current situation to the Hodgson era. At least he only lasted 6 months.
So, to interim or not to interim? I think it would be nobler in the mind to stick it out until the end, bear the whips and scorns of time, grunt and sweat under a weary life, and then fuck him off.
